It\u2019s something that we must address now.\u201d\n\nDuring a speech on the Senate floor, U.S. Senator Deb Fischer (R-Neb.), a member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, called on Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) to prioritize our national defense by bringing the annual National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) up for a vote.\n\nLast month, the Armed Services Committee voted to approve the Fiscal Year (FY) 2025 NDAA, which included several key provisions from Senator Fischer\u2019s Restoring American Deterrence Act. Schumer has not yet brought the legislation to the floor for a vote of the full Senate.\n\nIn her remarks, Fischer emphasized that our national defense is a bipartisan problem to address and a bipartisan duty to secure. Fischer urged Schumer to recognize the importance of the NDAA by bringing it up for a vote as soon as possible.\n\nClick the image above to watch a video of Senator Fischer\u2019s remarks.\n\nClick here to download audio\n\nClick here to download video", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-06T18:41:32Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://www.fischer.senate.gov/public/index.cfm/news?ID=40BEF0E0-0387-4B9C-8B6A-34CAF808B230"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.028392929583788, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
